  • Portable protective enclosure for communications devices
    Patent number: 10965015
    Abstract: A modular antenna enclosure is disclosed. The modular antenna enclosure includes a frame structure, a base structure including side plates, a capturing member and a frame structure. The frame structure includes vertical support members extending between the capturing member located near the top of the modular antenna enclosure and the side plates of the base structure. Each of the side plates of the base structure is coupled to adjacent side plates via a connector assembly that includes a vertical receptor to receive the vertical support members of the frame structure. The connector assembly can include a securing member that allows users to secure the base structure to a surface below.

  • Apparatus and method for clearing water from dish antenna covers
    Patent number: 8659490
    Abstract: A dish antenna with a cover that inhibits the accumulation of water, liquid or frozen, on the front surface of an antenna. One or more vibration mechanisms are engaged with the cover so as to vibrate the cover when water, either frozen or liquid, may be present on the outer surface of the cover so as to inhibit the water from disrupting signals being transmitted to or from the dish antenna.
